career-ops

Career-Ops turns your AI coding CLI into a full job search command center. Paste a job URL and get back a structured report broken into blocks A through H, with a single 1 to 5 score reached by holistic judgement across five dimensions. It generates tailored, ATS-optimized PDF resumes per application. One developer used it to evaluate 740+ offers and land a Head of Applied AI role.

The system gets smarter over time. It builds an interview story bank in STAR format, ships a scanner preloaded with 100+ companies and 45+ search queries, and can batch-evaluate offers in parallel using sub-agents. The dashboard is a Go TUI built on Bubble Tea, so you browse the entire pipeline from the terminal, and an experimental web UI is available as an opt-in alpha. Running it needs Node.js and Playwright for the PDF generation and portal scanning.

Solo job seekers running any AI coding CLI: this is a force multiplier. It used to be Claude Code only, and now it also works with Gemini, OpenCode, Qwen, Grok, Codex, and Kimi, several of which have free tiers. It does not replace your judgment, it structures it. The human in the loop design means the AI evaluates and you decide.

The catch: the tool is free, but it leans on an AI CLI underneath, so your real cost depends on which provider you pick and how hard you run it. The preloaded company list skews heavily toward AI and tech companies. And the first evaluations are rough until you feed it enough context about yourself.
